MY 09 classic runs about the same. Upwards of 15 to 16 volts also. It never really changes. Everything seems to be ok. When I don't ride for a few days usually due to the weather I put the battery tender on it and it only takes a few minutes to top off the battery.

Best to leave it connected all the time - it's a tender, not a charger.
